Judging by all the 6’s, it would seem GNC Total Lean Burn 60 is calling upon the demons of hell to help burn away all that fat. On that note, as a point of caution: Do not sign any contracts at the GNC store to buy this supplements — especially if the worker behind the counter has a long red tail.

Unless, of course, GNC Total Lean Burn 60 is that good of a supplement.

Let’s read the review to find out if this fat burner is worth your soul (or at least the standard supplement price).

About GNC Total Lean Burn 60

Manufactured and sold by GNC, Total Lean Burn 60 is a “powerful thermogenic formula” designed to burn calories, boost energy, and spike metabolism. Which is a redundant list of bio-effects: a better metabolism involves burning calories to expend more energy. Formula notes:

Directions:As a dietary supplement, take two tablets 30-60 minutes before starting exercise on workout days; on non-workout days take two tablets with water before breakfast. Do not take prior to bedtime.

One problem with that statement: GNC Total Lean Burn 60 was not clinically researched.

It’s a classic supplement trick: Vaguely imply that your product has been clinically researched to deliver its advertised benefits, leaving it to the fine print to point out that in fact not the formula but one of the ingredients has been researched. Separately.

Not a total deal buster. This supplement could still work, and we have to lend props to GNC for keeping this formula non-proprietary. So, let’s run it through the Best5 grading scale, the second best thing to clinical research:

GNC Total Lean Burn 60 Review: Ingredients

Guarana Seed Extract – Puallinia cupana contains more caffeine than coffee beans, making it a highly reliable stimulant supplement. Caffeine, being a Best 5 fat burner favorite, may help with thermogenic fat loss, even if it is just caffeine. This guarana extract provides a solid 180 mg, which will certainly get your heart racing.

Ginger Root Extract – Traditionally used for indigestion, ginger may improve the bioavailability of this formula with its nutrient absorption enhancing benefits; in addition to blocking the absorption of fat in the digestive tract. Notwithstanding this herb’s boosts on thermogenic lipolysis.

Formula Analysis

GNC Total Lean Burn 60 bills itself as a “powerful thermogenic formula” designed to boost energy and metabolism. This is made entirely evidence by the highest dosed ingredient in the formula: Caffeine.

In a way, this is first and foremost a caffeine pill supplement, given that GNC Total Lean Burn 60’s advertised benefits seem to primarily stem from caffeine’s touted thermogenic energy spikes. However, this isn’t the most exciting ingredient in the blend. Nor is it necessarily everyone’s favorite ingredient in the product, given the number of negative reviews complaining of excess stimulation with this supplement.

When your customer review burns better than the fat burner.

Our hunch: If you’re expecting the caffeine rush, it likely will be perceived as a standard quick rush of caffeinated energy. We’ve seen supplements with more caffeine than this that are backed by positive customer reviews; however, the negative reviews behind this supplement are duly noted by us.

Caffeine aside, GNC Total Lean Burn 60 provides a simple stack of Camellia sinensis antioxidants and grape extract polyphenols, as well as a neat-o addition of dill extract, which further enhances this supplement’s antioxidant capacity. The supplement comes across as healthy, albeit somewhat monotone in its bio-activity.

On that note, if you can find this product at its often discounted price, go for it. Otherwise, mehh… we leave that choice up to you.

GNC Total Lean Burn 60 Benefits

We already went over why the first claim is unsubstantiated: This supplement hasn’t been clinically researched, thus GNC hasn’t exactly earned this claim. However, given GNC Total Lean Burn 60’s ingredient choices, the second claim seems to check out: This fat burner supplement may help boost energy and metabolism. Bear in mind, this energy comes in the caffeinated variety.

Who Takes It?

Lean-Muscle-Seeking Exercisers. Men and women seeking that ripped, ripply muscular set up may benefit by this supplement. GNC doesn’t outright tell who this supplement is for, but …well, this GNC Total Lean Burn 60 review is telling you, so there it is!

Any Side Effects?

Most reported side effects relate to this supplement’s caffeine content. Presumably, although nothing else in this supplement would cause users to complaint of excess stimulation and a “racing heart.” With that in mind, take GNC Total Lean Burn 60 with caution, if you’re sensitive to stimulants.

GNC Total Lean Burn 60 Review Summary

Pros

Non-Proprietary. GNC does us a solid by showing all of its ingredient dosages.

Nice Dosages. For the most part, these dosages are looking pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Cons

Low Diversity. Caffeine and antioxidants. That’s about it for this product’s bio-pathways.

Mostly Caffeine. Not a bad fat burner, but it shouldn’t be prioritized at the #1 spot.

Junk Tabs. The additives in these tablets are just plain nasty. C’mon, doods.

Final Word on GNC Total Lean Burn 60

GNC Total Lean Burn 60 makes simple claims with its simple formula. Those claims being better energy and metabolism. That formula being caffeine and antioxidants. Not bad for a base fat burner set up of caffeine. Although we wouldn’t take just this, if we were truly serious about burning fat. And you’re damn right we’re serious about burning fat. Haven’t been more serious about a damn thing in our damn lives.
